| Garbage Plate - Burgers Minus the Bun but with Added Carbohydrate Goodness |
[Sep. 17th, 2006|01:38 pm] |
Scott and I started off our eastern/American dwelling with this monstrosity - the Gitsis (Garbage) Plate. Deliciously disgusting. Scott claims it is like a White Castle burger (onions and mustard) which led me to ponder it's origin. Although it has no bun, the two sides (mac salad and potatoes) sandwiched the meat sauce covered meat patties perfectly. The mustard added just a tinge of tang, and the onions a crunchy goodness. Although I still feel ill, I have a feeling I will be craving this burger-like demon!

Eating at Fatburger. Scott said his last experience there wasn't the best but we soldiered on and it was pretty alright. They even had fresh lemon slices for your pop! But they have eliminated the skinny/fat fry distinction and now just have a medium sized cut. Not cool! Soon, on to bigger and grosser burger stuff....

The Moderne Burger is not as good as it used to be. Don't get us wrong, it's still fantastic, but it was just missing something. The beverages were still good, though. Scott almost got a malted milkshake. Imagine! No cherry coke!

This is hilarious. Burgers are for lovers! I especially like the fetching (and narcissistic) cow.

It looks like a burger massacre. I have no clue what to store in it.

Scott and I went to the Calgary institution, Peter's Drive-In. It was a rollicking good burgeriffic time, however we are too full and too vacationy to write a review for now. So instead, here are some pictures. The proof is in the pudding. And that proof is that Calgary is a dusty, brown, grey depressing city.

Le Moderne Burger
$6.95 just burger ; $8.95 burger platter
( Alex's Review... )
( Scott's Review )
I'd like to talk about Weber's. (http://www.webersrestaurants.com/)
On the drive up from Toronto/York Region to Orillia and the Muskokas there was a quick service burger joint called Weber's. Incredibly popular, the line would always be out the door, yet they would take your order in line and then, you would also pay and get your burger quite quickly. Then you would eat in either a retired Via passenger car or on picnic tables. Great fries (where I was first introduced to seasoning salt). They grew, opening (a weaker location) at Toronto Pearson airport and hell even made Schott's Book of Food & Drink Miscellany. (One of two restaurants in Canada to do so) (And no, I am not Schott)
The point being, this burger- in its flame broiled goodness and very soft bun reminded me of Weber's. Thats a pretty big deal. Thats like when Christians say I remind them of Jesus. (Ok, none do, but you get the idea)Weber's is truly burger gold, and for a moment- I was duped into being back in Ontario.
Why did I come back to reality?
Stupid thick cut onions and tomato. They really hit me hard. It was almost as if the burger could exist whitout the patty because of these fat toppings. Hell, it was the primary reason the burger was so messy, very little united amongst toppings- hey toppings! Cooperate!
Next time for sure I'll be having lettuce (non-shredded, yay!), sauces and cheese only.
Is this wise?
Yes, the patty was wickedly tasty! Very little seasoning but juicy enough for me not to care, it actually crave one right now. Truly similar to what I would cook up on the bbq in my backyard in Calgary.
All in all, a great experience at a great price.
I will most definitively be back.
Please note that I decreased the quality of my writing skills to compensate for Alex's academic nerdyism.
Both Alex and Scott agree that Le Moderne Burger receives 7 CARDIAC EPISODES. A solid standing for a solid burger.
